1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally a portable water bag, and more particularly to an intake structure of the water bag.
2. Description of the Related Art
Portable water bags are the common equipments of jogging, mountain-climbing, bicycle riding and so on. Typically, the conventional portable water bag includes a soft bag to be received in a backpack or in a specific pack. The bag has an intake to pour water into the bag, a lid to close the intake, a hose with an end connected to the bag, mouthpiece connected to a free end of the hose. People may suck water in the bag through the mouthpiece or just pour water on head or body to get cool. Such water bag is filled with water first, and then carried on back for drinking. If the water bag need to refill, people has to take the bag off, pour water into the bag, and then put it back to the backpack or specific pack. The refill action of the conventional water bag is inconvenient to user.
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a water bag, which has an easier way to refill water.
According to the objective of the present invention, a water bag includes a soft bag with an intake, a lid detachably covering the intake of the bag, a hose having en end connected to the bag and a mouthpiece connected to a free end of the hose. The hose has a water inlet to inject water into the soft bag and a cap detachably covering the water inlet. Therefore, water may be injected through the water inlet directly without having to take the soft bag out of the backpack.
Another character of the present invention is the water inlet of the present invention fits to a common mineral water bottle, such that user only needs to engage the mineral water bottle with the water inlet, and water in the water bottle will flow to the soft bag.
As shown in
A soft bag 10 has an intake 11.
A lid 12 covers the intake 11 to close or open the intake 11.
A hose 15 has an end connected to the bag 10. The bag 10 has three rings 13 on a side for the hose 15 passing through.
A mouthpiece 20 is connected to a free end of the hose 15.
A three-way valve 30 has a first end connected to the hose 15, a second end connected to the mouthpiece 20 and a third end forming a water inlet 31. On an interior wall of the water inlet 31 of the connector three-way 30, a threaded section 32 is provided. The water inlet 31 may be engaged with a common mineral water bottle, as shown in
A cap 35 has a threaded section 36 to be screwed to a threaded section 32 of the water inlet 31. The cap 35 is provided with a strip 37 and a ring 38 on an end of the strip 37. The ring 38 is fitted to an annular slot 33 on the three-way valve 30 adjacent to the water inlet 31, such that the cover will not loose when the cap 35 is opened. A leakage-proof ring 34 is provided in the cap 35 to press the three-way valve 30 when the cap 35 is screwed onto the three-way valve 30 for leakage-proof.
When water in the bag 10 is out, user may open the cap 35 and engage an opening 91 of a common water bottle 90 with the water inlet 31, as shown in
In addition, to for convenience of operation, a plastic deformation tube 40, which may be bent and fixed in a predetermined shape, is mounted between the three-way valve 30 and the mouthpiece 20. The plastic deformation tube 40 includes a main tube 41, a sub-tube 42 attached on a circumference of the main tube 41, and a metal bar 43 in the sub-tube 42. The metal bar 43 may be bent and fixed at that shape. With the plastic deformation tube 40, user may adjust the mouthpiece 20 at desired positions, such that user may drink water without having to hold the mouthpiece 20.
The water bag of the present invention is further provided with a switch 50 between the plastic deformation tube 40. The switch 50 includes two members 51, 55, in which the first member 51 is connected to the plastic deformation tube 40 and the second member is connected to the mouthpiece 20. The members 51, 55 are connected together and may be rotated relative to each other. The second member 55 as a tunnel 56, and the first member 51 has a plug 52. When the members 51, 55 are turned, the first member 51 may be moved away from the second member 55, as shown in
The mouthpiece 20 includes a flexible body, in which a tunnel 21 is provided, with a closed end. On the closed end of the tunnel 21, an elongated crack 22 is provided, as shown in
